Translation
[In] the gymnasia on Crete.1
"[In] the race he made his deeds correspond with his nature, and came out holding the most glorious prize of victory"2. He is talking about Orestes, [who is] in effect not failing the ends [of the race], but he is appearing equal to the ends. Meaning equal and admired in the race as for his beauty: that is, just as [he is] admirable for his beauty, so did he appear for his action; just as for his appearance, so too for his action.
Interpretation of dreams:3 to move slowly4 creates unfortunate paths. To run in dreams creates steady good fortune.
